Top global retailers sustain year of revenue growth

New York, 19 January 2016 – The top 250 global retailers generated aggregated revenues of US$4.5 trillion in fiscal year 2014, representing a steady growth of 4.3 percent compared with 4.1 percent in 2013, according to Global Powers of Retailing 2016: Navigating the new digital divide from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (Deloitte Global). This is a positive signal for the industry which had not so long ago witnessed revenue declines in 2011. However, the picture is uneven by region with retailers in North America and Africa/Middle East enjoying revenue growth, while those in Asia Pacific, Europe, and Latin America enduring declining growth.
